About: PORTUGOESAS are the soprano Veronica Milagres da Silva and the mezzo-soprano Carolina Figueiredo, accompanied on piano by Carlos Garcia. PORTUGOESAS explore the traditional and classical Goan music, giving it an unique touch while respecting its roots Description Two singers, a soprano and a mezzo, decided to bring to life the music of Goa, a part of their cultural and ethnic heritage. This former Portuguese colony in India has a rich repertoire of traditional, classical and church music, yet to be disclosed. It is this blending of Western and Eastern cultures, with Portuguese and Indian themes, that gives it variety and uniqueness. The research conducted by Veronica Milagres da Silva and Carolina Figueiredo on this subject brought about a repertoire covering their own interpretations of traditional Goan songs, transmitted mainly through oral tradition, such as the mando, the dulpod and the dekni, among others. This study includes compositions of religious nature and tries to make known to the public classical pieces composed by Goan musicians, such as an unpublished mass in Konkani.
